    A basic but important question~

    Hi, I got a very basic question, could someone help me to make sure the answer? I have checked some useful textbooks(EX:razavi), however, I still feel not enough. 1. what is the difinition for "small signal" 2. What is the benefit for using the small signal analysis? Is there any condition...

    Noise contribution in LNA?

    calculating noise contribution Hi, I have a question about the noise contribution in the following LNA: Ls has a parasitic resistor:rs M1 or Ls(rs), which one contribution more noise? In me opinion, if Ls is large, and thus, the rs is large, the noise contribution in Ls is bigger than M1...

    Power Gain VS Voltage Gain

    Hi, I got a question~ Why Power gain is more important than Voltage gain in RF Circuit? What is the reason make power the natural quantity in RF circuit and system? Thanks!

    steepest slope for the time response of the comparator

    Hi, I am calculating the steepest slope for the output time response of the the two-stage open-loop comparator. From the book (Allen, P.448, Eq.8.2-13), it says I need to find it by differentiating the equation of time response twice and setting the result the result = 0. Why??? I know the...

    Explain me the Bode plot, why it goes from 180 to -180 degree suddenly

    Re: Bode plot I am using HSPICE to simulate the two stage op-amp as shown in the attachment. So, it is caused from the HSPICE which limited the phase in +- 180 degree? Thanks!

    Input offset voltage for the two stage opamp design

    Thanks! zhaoqin~ 1. So, with your method, if I change the Vin until Vout=0.9v when Vin=0.91v, Vos=0.01v. Is it correct? 2. So, similarly, if the Vdd is 5V and Vss=-5, with your method, I need to change the Vin until the Vo=0v, then if the Vin=0.12mv, Vos=0.12mV. Is it correct? 3. Conclusion...

    Explain me the Bode plot, why it goes from 180 to -180 degree suddenly

    Hi, From the attachment, why the red line (the phase) go to 180 degree form -180 degree suddenly? Is it because the zaro or some other reasons? Thanks!:D

    Input offset voltage for the two stage opamp design

    Hi, This is an two-stage opamp with miller compasation cap and Vdd=1.8v, Vss=0v. I am measureing the input referred offset voltage (Vos) for this op-amp. I bias DC=0.9v for both Vin+ and Vin- and AC=1 for the Vin+. Then, when Vin=0.9v, the Vout=0.912v, where both vout and vin are in the...

    Gain Bandwidth product

    Hi, I have a question when design a two-stage op-amp (include miller cap and Rz) I am improving the Gain Bandwidth product(GBWP). If the Power(DC) for the circuit is 883uW, and the Vdd=1.8v, the Load is CL=0.3p, What is the maximum GBWP I can get? Is there anyway to know the maximum? Thanks...

    How to measure TC in the Vref using HSPICE?

    Hi, I am using HSPICE to simulate the bandgap. How can I measure the TC (Temperature Coefficient) in the Vref ? What's the code I need to use to measure? Thanks! Wang

    HSPICE- lic: No 'set LM_LICENSE_FILE' in current environment

    a question about HSPICE When I simulate LNA, I met the following message in the output file: lic: No 'set LM_LICENSE_FILE' in current environment' I have correct the path of the license and changed the environment variable. Other than this, everything is good. I can still run the frequency...

    question about bandgap reference

    Hi, I got some questions about the bandgap reference: 1. what is gm-based reference? Is it constant-gm biasing? 2. In the fig.1, why the output of the op-amp (node P) can adjust the gate voltage of the PMOS devices so as to "Equalize" Vx = Vy? 3. Also in the fig.1, what will happen if I change...

    Suggest me some good Op-Amp design books

    Hi, I just finished the study in op-amps design from Razavi's book. However, I feel not enough in some topics like CMFB, slew rate and some other practical issues. Could you recommend me any other books like Allen or Meyer so that I can study further? Thanks a lot! Wang
